When referring a baby for potential diagnoses and treatment of oral restrictions, what can you do to help them prepare for that process? What guidance, tools, and therapeutic measures can parents be equipped with, so as to navigate pre and post release well? Learn how to optimize the diagnosis, release, and recovery process with infants, and work as a valuable member of the feeding team for families working to move past oral restrictions.

This class will be live and about 2 hours long. It is limited, in size, to allow for discussion about specific situations and providers. This class is taught by an IBCLC who is experienced in working in integrative tongue tie clinics.

CERPs have been applied for, with IBLCE.

Check out the rules from my grandfather's baby book in 1916!

It tells people to breastfeed and then says to do several things that undermine breastfeeding, like feed on a schedule and give water between feedings. Such a shame.
